You've had a good education,And seen the best of the schools,But when you take a drink,The ghetto comes out of you.

[Chorus]I took you out of the ghetto,(I took you out of the ghetto)I took you out of the ghetto,(I took you out of the ghetto)I took you out of the ghetto,(I took you out of the ghetto)But I could not get that ghetto out of you.

You're a foxy lady,Your mamma had a beautiful child,You're built like a brick house,And that's no lie.

When we go to the disco,You drive the fellas wild,When you shake your booty,Ghetto style.
